Samantha knew that she was going to get hung up on, but she continued to contact other banks for the sake of her company.
Alas, none of the banks were willing to give her another loan.
‘The company will go belly up in a few days if I can’t find some money to pump into it.’
Seeing how dejected she was, Adrian said, “Why don’t you relax and take a breather? Who knows? You might just be able to get through this.”
Hearing this, Samantha shot Adrian a glance and said, “What do you know about running a company? Our cash flow is almost depleted. I won’t be able to pay my employees if I don’t get some money soon.”
Samantha shook her head while Adrian smiled and replied, “I wouldn’t be too sure about that. Maybe a bank will come to you themselves with a loan offer.”
Samantha instantly shot Adrian a glare. “You’re being too optimistic about this. As if any sane bank would do such a thing for me in this situation?”
“Let’s just wait and see,” Adrian said.
Samantha ignored Adrian and wrote it off as gibberish.
Instead, she calmed herself and rearranged her thoughts. ‘My only hope right now is to win the contract from Nine Kings. I’m sure it’ll be worth a few million dollars at least, right?’
At that thought, Samantha picked up her phone and gave Nine Kings a call.
She stated the purpose of her phone call and requested a meeting with the person in charge, but the other party on the call merely said, “Ms. Samantha, why would we choose to work with your company on a project that’s worth three hundred million dollars when it's about to collapse?”
The call was cut off immediately following this.
In a daze, Samantha fell back into her chair after expending all of the ideas she could think of. ‘Is this really it? Is the company going to have to declare bankruptcy?’
But right at that moment, Adrian stood up and said, “I’m going to head to the washroom for a bit.”
As if Samantha could be bothered with what he wanted to do or where he wanted to go.
Adrian headed straight to the washroom after leaving Samantha’s office. He got out his cell phone and dialed a number.
